Ella Fitzgerald Birthday Celebration: The Louisa Amend Quintet

Nocturne is delighted to welcome Denver jazz vocalist Louisa Amend to the stage as we celebrate the 109th birthday of Ella Fitzgerald -the "First Lady of Song" Louisa will be joined on stage by John Gunther - sax, Tom Amend - piano, Jean-Luc Davis - bass and Kevin Matthews - drums.

Louisa Amend is a vocalist and educator based out of Denver, Colorado. She graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 2016 with a Bachelors of Music Education and was a member of a numerous premier ensembles (one earning a Downbeat Magazine best of award) and opera productions produced by the university. After teaching music in public schools for a few years Louisa transitioned into working as a freelance musician and founding her own voice studio and she is quickly becoming a mainstay in the Denver jazz scene. In fall of 2022 and again in 2023, Louisa partnered with pianist Eric Gunnison to perform a special artist-in-residency at Nocturne honoring the late American jazz singer Carmen McRae - these shows were met with a truly marvelous reception.
